Welcome to the Charismatic Indian Zone
Few countries in the world have a tradition, culture and variety as diverse as this multi-faceted land called India. Its physical, religious and racial variety is as varied as its linguistic diversity. Underneath this diversity lies the continuity of Indian civilization and social structure from the very earliest times until the present day.
CULTURE OF INDIA
The one very unique fact about India is its "Unity in Diversity". The diversity of India starts from it's land which is made up of snowbound peaks of beautiful cool hills, fertile river valleys, tropical rainforests , blistering hot deserts and breathtakingly beautiful coasts. This diversity is not only limited to the land but extends to the religion, languages and lifestyle. Hence, each diverse geographical region generates a startlingly different culture, language and lifestyle. Adding to this is the culture the immigrants have brought with them. Moreover, the culture of India is rich and diverse. All these blend together to make up a multi-faceted and uniquely Indian Culture which binds the country together in perfect harmony.
INDIAN ARTS
The story of Indian art reveals one of the oldest and most resilient cultures on earth. As time went by Indian art changed and evolved with the evolution of a civilization which was full of remarkable innovations in all areas of artistic expression. It has also been influenced by social, political and religious upheavals. It is also viewed as the integration of native and outside influences. Yet it is unique and distinctive in its own way.
Indian art displays a flair for passion, colour, beauty and nature.
The arts portray the diversity, spontaneity of the country and cover all aspects of the diverse Indian culture.
INDIAN FESTIVALS
The Indian calendar is one long procession of festivals. These are as varied in origin as they are large in number. There are innumerable national, regional, local, religious, seasonal and social festivities. This is not surprising considering the fact that India is the land of gods, goddesses, saints, gurus and prophets.
Few of the popular festivals of India are Diwali, Dussehra, Holi, Eid Ul Fitar, Baisakhi, Durga Puja, Onam, Christmas.

INDIAN FOOD
The food of India offers a staggering range of dishes to the gourmet with an adventurous palate. The character of cuisine in India is essentially regional; reasons for this being the sheer size of the country, different religion, multi linguistic people which forced every area to develop a style of cooking of its own.
